Course 3.2 History of Corporate Governance

Corporate Governance Codes Explained: UK, SOX & Global Lessons Corporate governance frameworks shape how boards operate, how accountability is enforced, and how trust in organisations is maintained. This session explains the evolution of corporate governance across the UK, South Africa, and the United States — and what it means in practice for today’s directors. You’ll explore the origins of UK governance thinking, from the Cadbury and Greenbury Reports through to the UK Corporate Governance Code and its modern revisions. The video also examines the King Reports in South Africa, highlighting the growing emphasis on stakeholder governance, ethical leadership, and long-term value creation. The session then turns to the US regulatory response to governance failures, focusing on the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and subsequent reforms. You’ll understand why CEO and CFO accountability became a legal requirement, and how these rules reshaped board oversight, risk management, and financial reporting. Importantly, this video goes beyond listed companies. It addresses governance expectations for unlisted and private companies, explaining why governance is not about compliance alone, but about building resilient structures that support growth, funding, and continuity. It also considers the unique challenges faced by state-owned enterprises, where unclear objectives and political influence can undermine board effectiveness. This module is designed for company directors, non-executive directors, and board members who want a clear, practical understanding of governance codes — and how to apply them proportionately in different organisational contexts.
